Jay Z and Beyonce kicked off their "On The Run Tour: Beyonce And Jay Z" at Sun Life Stadium on June 25 in Miami Gardens, Florida. With an estimated income of $95 million, Mr. and Mrs. Carter were the highest-paid couple of 2013, according to Forbes magazine. Click through the gallery to see which other famous couples are running Hollywood. 
Not even Vogue magazine could deny the influence of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, putting the #WorldsMostTalkedAboutCouple on the cover of its April 2014 issue. Breaking the confines of Anna Wintour's sacred space? That's power. 
Jennifer Aniston reportedly had earned an estimated $20 million as of June 2013, but her writer/director/actor fiancé Justin Theroux certainly carries his weight. 
From Gisele Bundchen's modeling, endorsement deals and independent licensing ventures to Tom Brady's generous contract with the New England Patriots, this power couple isn't hurting for influence. 
Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton are country music's winning pair as they continue to dominate Billboard charts, rake up trophies at awards shows and reach a broader audience through Shelton's seat at NBC's "The Voice." 
Together, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have six children, two Academy Awards and roughly $50 million earned in 2013, according to Forbes. 
With Calista Flockhart focusing on TV and Harrison Ford starring on the big screen, the couple, who wed in 2010, have been power players for years. 
Between the two of them, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have had a major influence across entertainment, from TV to music to film. And they're even more of a power couple -- or family -- when you factor in their famous offspring, Jaden and Willow. 
Speaking of powerful families, Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann also have had their children, Maude and Iris, appear in three comedies directed by Apatow and starring Mann. It seems the couple that works together on hilarious movies stays together. 
Newly engaged couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have a long history of working together, and in 2013 earned an estimated $35 million. The pair are now expecting their first child. 
Together, soccer player David Beckham and his wife, Victoria (the fashion designer formerly known as Posh Spice), earn $54 million annually, according to Forbes. 
Soccer star Gerard Pique brings his athleticism, while singer Shakira brings global pop stardom to this high-profile relationship. 
As long as "American Idol" judge Mariah Carey continues making music and Nick Cannon keeps acting and writing/producing/directing TV programs, this power couple isn't going anywhere. 
David Bowie and Iman married in 1992. His musical legacy coupled with her modeling career and cosmetics company makes this pair a force with which to be reckoned. 
Ellen DeGeneres has gained even more regular fans for her show with "The Oprah Winfrey Show" no longer on the air. Alone, DeGeneres rakes in $53 million annually, according to Forbes. Add in what her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, earns, and you've got yourself a power couple.
- The couple launched their tour Wednesday night
- They shared video footage from their private wedding
- Billboard said it was all about the pair
(CNN) -- This was one video Beyonce and Jay Z wanted the world to see.
The superstar pair kicked off their highly anticipated joint "On The Run Tour" Wednesday night at SunLife Stadium in Miami, Florida, and the usually intensely private couple shared their never-before-seen wedding video and clips of their toddler, Blue Ivy.
The video showed the couple getting their infamous matching ring finger tattoos, and fans were able to see for the first time the rapper in his tux and sliding the wedding ring on his beautiful wife's finger. The pair married during an extremely private ceremony in 2008.
It stood in sharp contrast to the hotel elevator footage leaked in May that showed Jay Z being pummeled by his wife's sister, Solange Knowles. The trio later released a statement saying "they both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family."
Their front was even more united Wednesday night, and Billboard said the show was all about Mr. and Mrs. Carter -- minus even an opening act.
"Alternating in the sparse, almost industrial-looking stage, Beyonce and Jay-Z proceeded to take us on a journey of fashion, high-level performance and music, always returning to the central theme of love -- challenged, perhaps, but finally standing strong," Billboard wrote.
According to site Consequence of Sound, the show boasted a 42-song set list for a 2-hour-plus concert. One fan tweeted, "BRILLIANT. Started with 'this is not real life' (stories) & ended with 'this is real life' (family videos). EPIC. #OnTheRun #OnTheRunTour "
Writing for Forbes, journalist Jesse Lawrence said the tour is on pace to be "the second most successful tour of all time based on gross revenue per show," behind band U2's "360" tour.
"If 'On The Run' cracks $100 million in gross sales, as Ticketmaster says it is on pace to do, they'd be the clear number two, with around $5,000,000 in gross sales per show," Lawrence wrote.
The tour is scheduled to perform at a total of 20 stadiums in the United States.
